Let me start by saying I believe these are good covers, you can never go wrong with a high-contrast, stark portrait of an artist. However I'm placing this here because there are way too many similarities in these covers, even down to the programming! And only 2 years apart. I'll take it as a homage to the King Harnoncourt.

Did Beethoven Symphony no 4/5 come before symphony no 1? Is it also known as Symphony No 0.8? Does Beethoven get any recognition for writing a symphony with a fractional number? I think it is a shoe in for worst cover.

It says SYMPHONIES. Not Symphony. Nowhere on that cover does it say anything about Symphony 4/5, meaning your entire premise is wrong.

I have no idea who Widmann is so out of curiosity I listened to the Viola Concerto on Spotify. As it turns out, it is not really my cup of tea but it would be a shame if a ridiculous cover put people off buying this disc. It is an example of why I don't care about cover art - good, bad or indifferent - the musical content is what matters to me.
